But at least you are laughing out loud.<br /><br /><b>Katherine</b>, I guess I'm unobservant, but I could not tell you whether my windows steam up on the inside or the outside.<br /><br /><b>Helsie</b>, I never said the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn are at either end of the equator. But I can see where I confused you. In the photo the little boy represents the sun's direct rays lowest point on earth (AT the Tropic of Cancer) and the little girl represents the sun's direct rays highest point on earth (AT the Tropic of Capricorn). In the photo, the angle of the seesaw does not represent the equator; it represents the movement of the sun's direct rays during the year from southernmost point to northernmost point. But in my hypothetical, once the seesaw starts moving, it no longer represents that at all, and the children never represented the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn anyway. When the seesaw gets to the horizontal position, THEN it represents the equator and the children represent, as before, THE POSITION OF THE SUN'S DIRECT RAYS ON THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER AND THE FIRST DAY OF WINTER; that is, ON THE EQUATOR.<br /><br />I thought I was being perfectly clear, but obviously I wasn't.<br /><br />Sorry for shouting.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-70282878998541782162010-09-23T08:20:05.378-04:002010-09-23T08:20:05.378-04:00The see-saw seems to be going the wrong way to me ...The see-saw seems to be going the wrong way to me - Tropic of Capricorn and Tropic of Cancer are not at either end of the Equator but parallel to it as far as I understand.Helsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-56091012180400430252010-09-23T02:40:47.567-04:002010-09-23T02:40:47.567-04:00Sorry Robert, I don't get the children and the...Sorry Robert, I don't get the children and the seesaw thing.

The initial band members were Grim Stene (guitar/vocals), Ragnar 'Raggen' Westin (drums) and Skule Stene (bass guitar) who were all ex-Rebellion members. In 1988 Tommy Skarning joined as a second guitarist. On the Labyrinth album Tommy was no longer with the band, and Raggen was exchanged with Jørn Wangsholm. The band broke up in 1995.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.com
